  • Tamper respondent sensor and enclosure
    Publication number: 20080106400
    Abstract: A tamper respondent enclosure including (a) a circuit board; (b) an enclosure surrounding the circuit board; (c) a tamper respondent sensor having (i) a substrate with first and second sides; (ii) a first layer of conductive traces on the first side; (d) wherein the tamper respondent sensor is wrapped around the enclosure with at least one overlap region; and (e) wherein only at the at least one overlap region the tamper respondent sensor has a second layer of conductive traces on the second side. Preferably, the substrate is insulating and made of opaque PET, and the first layer is adjacent the enclosure.

  • Miniaturized high-density coaxial connector system with staggered grouper modules
    Patent number: 5190472
    Abstract: A miniaturized high-denisty coaxial interconnect system for use in termination of coaxial signal cables to electrical signal transmission systems is provided. The system contains one or more grouper modules having a staggered array of receptacle grooves in which the grouper modules are housed within a grouper frame. The system is easy to assemble and provide easy attachment and detachment from the transmission system. This invention also provides for an increased density of signal cables with improved spacing due to the unique design of component parts and their arrangement within the system.
